    Thanks aspirin624, i could be wrong but i don't think thats the correct file for me since I have :
    nuvi2xx7and2xx8_550_Patched HWID: 1582 Not 2077 ...

    Edit : I seem to have found the file HWID: 1582 here if anyone else needs it :

    What exactly do you mean by "never unlock maps"? Are you using maps that have been previously unlocked by latest gimgunlock? Because that's what you additionally need to do.

    Or are you expecting that when patched firmware is loaded that it will unlock any original (locked) maps added to the device? Because it can't do that.

    Or some other problem which you must clearly describe to get precise assistance.

    I have more devices Garmin whit locked and unlocked maps, Works fine the maps

    The garmin 2597 has lifetime updates but locked maps, because the firmware is stock (No patched).
    I change my sd card whit unlocked maps but the nuvi canīt read unlocked maps

    I tried patch the Firmware form SD but never work (Nuvi 2xx7-2xx8 C4 (2077) fw8.80.rar)

    All its for experimental purposes

    It depends on whether you get a message on the device's screen when booting up:
    * Do you get a message saying "Maps are corrupt and can't be used" or similar? If so the device firmware is not patched correctly. Re-make and reflash the patched fw in that case.
    * Do you get a message saying "Cannot unlock maps" or similar? If so one or more maps are not unlocked correctly.
    * Do you not get any message? Check that the map is selected in settings. If it's not even listed in settings then where did you place the unlocked map on microSD card? The 2xx7/8 series like most modern devices can read an img file named gmapsupp.img in Garmin root folder or <any_name>.img in Map root folder. e.g. SD/Map/UK_CNNTU.img (note folder name 'Map' not 'Maps').

    i flash the firmware whit my homemade firmware, i folow the steps from the guide "HowTo – Patching Garmin Firmware via SD Package By FireFox58"

    The maps works, before the message saying "Cannot unlock maps" because i download the firmware but not work for me (Nuvi 2xx7-2xx8 C4 (2077) fw8.80.rar)

    I have a patchet Drivesmart, its most modern device whit the unlocked maps.

    Thanks for all

    "Cannot unlock maps" message usually means there is a map (or even a single tile of a map) which has not been properly unlocked. Re-run gimunlock on any map that you've added.
